I'm having troubles with connecting flash and sound cloud api so i would really appriciate if someone with bigger experience could help me out.
Is it possible to stream an audio file through flash without
embedding the sc player? What i mean is accessing the audio file
without any redirects plus granting access through crossdomain.xml.
Is there an up to date documentation how to autenticate an
application, how to get tokens and everything necessary?
Are there any sample solutions or tutorials in flash wich is up to date and really works (what i found was pretty much outdated)?
Thank you for your answer in advance.

Point 2) How to authenticate with Flash?
If you are building a flash web application, you could use the Javascript SDK to authenticate, then pass the access token back to the flash app via the flash external interface.
There's tons of information on how to authenticate in Javascript. One great walkthrough is on codecademy: http://www.codecademy.com/courses/javascript-intermediate-en-txGOj/0/1

I'm looking for a pub/sub messaging system to connect various applications I'm building, some of them will be iOS, other ones AIR/AS3 and maybe some openFrameworks.
I found out Faye and it looks like really interesting. I've found libraries to integrate it in all my apps/languages, so I'm trying it out.
Now, the problems are with the AS3 implementation. I've found this great library and it's kind of working, BUT I've some issues I can't understand. My main problem is that I can build clients, connect them to a node.js server and exchange information between them, but after a while they stop receiving information.
So I was wondering:
do anyone of you have experience with Faye and this library, and knows if this behaviour it's normal and if there's a way to prevent it? I've done some tests using some html browser clients and everything was ok, so it's definitely a flash library problem
do you know any other library to implement Faye in AS3/AIR? I was browsing a lot but I couldn't find anyone
Do you know any alternative pub/sub messaging system I could implement (easily) in as3?
Thank you
We've open sourced our implementation of AS3 Faye client recently. You can find it here.
It's been in prod for more than a year and was tested by millions of users, without issues so far. It's used in Flash Player Web and AIR Mobile applications.
Interfaces mimic JS client interfaces, so its setup is as easy as JS client setup. Plus one additional feature: multiple urls for reconnection fallbacks.
Give it a try!
I have a chat client that uses FMS server. I do not know how many more functions are on FSM that I can utilize. There is 0 documentation for the available FMS server. Is there a way to browse or query all the available features/functions of Adobe FMS server?
Also some of the chatters crashes my flash play remotely. I think, they are just overflowing the buffer? Is it the case? or how anyone can remotely crash my flash player? This only happens if I kick any of the specific user using the command /kick user.
FMS has pretty good doc at FMS API. But functions you want depend of who implemented server side for you.
Crash might be caused of your chat implementation. You need to find initial developer to fix that.
it is possible to transfer data via bluetooth in Air Flash with as3? I want to make an application that is able to share data like some strings between 2 devices. I search on google, but I don't found same concret thing. I'm waiting for same solutions. Thank you very much!
Not possible using AIR, but it might be possible using an AIR Native Extension (ANE). Basically, you would need to do the data transfer via native Android (Java) and the ANE would be the bridge between the Java and the ActionScript. I searched for an ANE a few weeks ago to do this while scoping out a project and was able to find a few through Google, but I didn't test any of them myself.
I'm relatively new to flash, air and AS3 so I'm sorry if this comes of as a beginners question. I have made an application in AIR to run on windows and communicate with my atmega8 chip through serial communication via serproxy.
Now I want to port that application to android to perform the same basic functions but communicate to the atmega8 via bluetooth. So I created a new Air for android file in Flash CS6 copied my code from my previous application excluding the communication through sockets part and created an apk which ran on an android phone:). It did everything except the communication as expected.
Now I have been trying to implement the as3breeze.com/bluetooth-ane and use it to communicate but I'm not too sure how to go about the whole thing. I have imported the ane through actionscript settings and have implemented the classes but when I try to test I get this error.
The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Extension namespace is invalid for C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp\Tmp_ANE_File_Unzipped_Packages\AndroidBluetooth.ane
So after some searching I found posts talking about as3 sdk and flash builder. Do I really need all these things or can I make my bluetooth app work some how with just flash cs6? Also what exactly does my error mean and how can I solve it. Thanks in advance for any help. I have been searching so a solution to this for days and I either get an explanation that does not work or I lack the knowledge to understand.
The path that can't be accessed makes me believe you haven't extracted the ANE (basically you're trying to access a temporary directory). Try extracting the ANE file to somewhere, like My Documents or wherever your flash project is, and include (in the actionscript settings) that path instead.
Hope it helps.
I need to store a password locally from a Flash based app that runs within a browser. Is there an Flash equivalent to Air's encrypted local storage? (I'm publishing for Flash Player 10)
Thanks. Uli
I'd strongly advise against this, because the only way you can do this is by using Flash's shared objects, which are accessible to any flash application. Someone could simply create a flash wrapper to your SWF application and have people visit through their wrapper and then collect sensitive information (the password) with great ease. I'm posting this an answer because if you ever want anyone to feel remotely secure while using your application, this is the only answer.
On another note, you could simply write an AIR app and then when people visit your apps website, they can either have their AIR app launched from your web page or be prompted to install it if they do not already have it. Check out these links for more NFO on that:
